...most local communities can no longer regulate the rates cable systems charge subscribers. With the elimination of the "must carry" rule (struck down as unconstitutional by a federal appeals court), cable operators are not even required to carry all the broadcast stations in their local area. As a result, some small stations have been dropped; others have been shifted from desirable low-channel positions near the networks to the less watched numbers at the high end of the dial -- "cable Siberia," as some call it.

When that failed, Gore, Librettist Lawrence Cohen and Lyricist Dean Pitchford started shopping for emergency investors to create an instant reserve fund. Landesman pondered stepping in with more cash from Jujamcyn but in the end decided not to underwrite even one additional week's losses so the search for investors could go on.
